Following the events at home, the Abbott family now face the terrors of the outside world. Forced to venture into the unknown, they realize that the creatures that hunt by sound are not the only threats that lurk beyond the sand path.
This movie contains 35 potentially triggering events.
At the beginning of the movie, one character sorta watches the mains from afar. It’s not really stalking, but he does watch them shortly before meeting.
An infant is kept in a small closed suitcase some of the time. It's partly for the baby's own protection, and the baby lies comfortably in blankets and gets oxygen through a mask while in there, but I can't help thinking that it can't be good for the child. That doesn't make it abuse, but I wanted to mention it anyway, because it bothered me a bit. (Actually, there's one thing that I do consider a form of child abuse here: That the married couple MADE that baby in the first place, knowing what kind of world it would be born into. That, of course, happened in the first movie, but we still see a child existing who would've been better off not existing, so to speak. I kept feeling angry at the parents throughout for having allowed themselves to bring a new person into the world under those terrifying conditions.)
There is a scene where a girl is on a dock sur rounded by guys. It felt like they had bad intentions, they started to take her jacket off, and touch her hair. They get interrupted by monsters before it went further.
In this movie there are a few instances where people do GO to sacrifice themselves, however last minute they are saved. No one dies due to a result of sacrificing themselves.
The closest it gets (spoilers)
Is a man on the island trying to turn back to go save his family and he ends up getting killed by one of the monsters
Two characters have to cross a portion of the ocean to get to an island, the water is shown, there is a spot where the camera is under the water as well
One big example I can think of is after Marcus (the son) gets his leg trapped in the bear trap. He screams quite loudly due to being in a lot of pain and it lasts for quite a few seconds
Nothing severe, but Regan is hearing impaired and Emmett becomes frustrated when he cannot communicate with her. However, she shows him the best way to communicate, and there are no issues after.
There have been concerns that the monsters could be a racist allegory given the films’ focus on whites. Those undertones (intentional or not) are less significant here given the presence of two BIPOC characters, but, unfortunately, both of them die.
very minor, idk if you can even consider is sexual. during the dock scene older men are seen stripping a young girl of her clothes. absolutely no nudity and she remains clothed by a tank top and pants. unclear what their intentions were, but they were very clearly not pleasant
Kind of? Emmett’s wife was revealed to be very sick before passing away (completely off screen and her passing is only mentioned once) it wasn’t stated what sickness she had and Emmett states that he thinks he didn’t do enough so it could have been preventable
In a sense, everyone in the movie is homeless, except during the "prologue" (from before the aliens arrived) and, arguably, during the last part of the movie. You can't really talk about homelessness in the usual sense here, because all of society has been uprooted.
There's panicky traffic chaos in the first part of the movie, just after the aliens arrive, and I find it unlikely that no honking or tire screeching occurs in that situation, although I didn't notice it specifically (it's not triggering for me, so I rarely do). HOWEVER, towards the end of the movie, a man runs to an old red car, jumps in and honks the horn prolongedly and repeatedly to distract an alien with the sound, then drives the car away very fast to lure the alien away from a group of people. The way the car is driven and stopped, it's thinkable that there's some tire screeching.
There are car crashes in the beginning when the initial chaos breaks out, but no one is seen specifically injured from this and it happens more in the background.
